Xu Mucheng was genuinely caught off guard.

So the surprise and helplessness that flashed across her face in that instant were all her most genuine expressions.

It doesn't seem so pretentious all of a sudden.

But she didn't deny it either—whether she did it or not, since it was a good thing that happened to her, why should she refuse it?

Xu Mucheng was already used to the convenience of reaping the benefits without sowing.

Zhuo Xi gave Zhuo Jiahan, who was standing next to him, a look.

"Yes!"

Zhuo Jiahan immediately chimed in, "I saw news about Mu Cheng on Weibo before, and I thought it was just fans posting for fun. Now that I've met him in person, I realize that such amazing things really do exist. It's incredible!!"

Zhuo Jiahan's statement was not merely due to pressure from Zhuo Xi; he felt he had to follow the other party's line of thinking in everything.

Even if he really was just a dog that Zhuo Xi kept by his side, at the same time, he still harbored some feelings for Xu Mucheng, a "rich, beautiful, and successful" woman with various halos.

There's absolutely no problem with licking it here.

What if it gets licked?

Zhuo Xi continued, "On the day we were assigned rooms, Mu Cheng, you were very popular with animals. Maybe the fish here saw you from afar and jumped out excitedly? Like a beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky?"

Zhuo Jiahan: "No, no, 'sinking fish and falling geese' means the fish sink, it should be the other way around—have all the fish in this pond been blown out by Mu Cheng?"

"..."

I don't know if Xu Mucheng is really a lucky charm, but those two surnamed Zhuo are definitely top-notch sycophants! Good dogs woof woof woof!

It's clear that Zhuo Xi has a very strong desire to return to the entertainment industry.

[Wait, is Xu Mucheng really backed by such a powerful figure? Was this fish-serving incident just a publicity stunt by the production team?]

[Director Guo: I told you there's no script, no script... Keep arguing!!]

[It's one thing for Zhuo Jiahan to lick, but Zhuo Xi, you really shouldn't—you two are the same type!]

[Hmph, Mu Mu is just so lucky to be favored by God, some people are just jealous.]

[Forward this post and a windfall will soon be yours!]

【Forward】

Zhuo Xi and Zhuo Jiahan talked back and forth, and Xu Mucheng, who was initially at a loss, gradually accepted this explanation with a sense of peace.

Yes.

She has always been lucky since she was a child.

She tilted her head slightly, her delicate face revealing an uncontrollable air of pride.

"Oh, they're not as amazing as Brother Zhuo and Brother Jiahan said. They're just lucky. The main reason they caught so many fish is because of your own hard work and skill."

They didn't refute it.

Zhuo Xi readily agreed, "That's it then."

Noticing that Xu Mucheng's gaze was fixed on the fish, she swallowed hard, a hint of longing in her eyes...

Zhuo Xi smiled faintly.

He had been staying here for two days as well, so he naturally knew what kind of hardship they were both living.

Zhuo Xi said, "We caught a lot of fish this time, thanks to Mu Cheng. Mu Cheng took two out to eat."

[Fish: I've been out of water for so long, is someone finally speaking up for me?]

Xu Mucheng was both surprised and resistant: "How can this be? These all need to be handed over to the production team."

"There are so many, just take two, it's fine." Zhuo Xi said casually, "After all, the production team doesn't want to see us get into trouble, right?"

Xu Mucheng was really craving the fish last night because she didn't get to eat it.

She was tempted, but outwardly she had to feign hesitation and refusal.

"But……"

"Nothing bad."

Zhuo Xi gave him another look.

They had already caught two fish each, so they naturally had plenty more prepared.

The sycophant Zhuo Jiahan immediately grabbed a small bucket from the side and filled it with two skewers—when he introduced himself, he said that he ran a company, so he was at least a president, right?

Now, however, he has no image whatsoever.

He quickly and obsequiously handed it to Xu Mucheng: "Mucheng, you can take it."

Zhuo Xi added meaningfully, "Even if it's not for you, think about Brother Luo. He hasn't been feeling well lately."

Mention Luo Zibai.

Xu Mucheng's expression showed even more hesitation and struggle, but she finally accepted and said, "Alright then."

"I'm sorry, I may have broken the rules, but Brother Zibai really needs these right now. He's been working very hard these past two days..."

Zhuo Xi: "He will understand you."

The two exchanged a smile, both having achieved their goals.

Xu Mucheng was still resentful about what Zhuo Xi had done that day; she naturally wouldn't forget the embarrassment she had been forced to endure.

But now that there are benefits to be had, she is willing to temporarily give the other party a friendly look.

"If you need anything like this again, Brother Zhuo, you can come to me..."

Zhuo Xi's lips twitched.

He was just trying to curry favor with her and flatter her, but she actually thought it was all her doing?

Zhuo Xi was speechless.

Fortunately, Zhuo Jiahan, that sycophant, was there to cover for him: "Yes, yes, thank you so much, Mu Cheng."

"Then I'll take these fish back first. Brother Zibai will be very happy to see them."

Zhuo Jiahan got hooked on licking it: "There's still water in here, is it heavy? Do you want me to help you carry it back?"

Zhuo Xi wanted to curse!

There's still so much left. How is my idiot cousin supposed to handle it all by himself? He's still feeling weak!

Xu Mucheng was actually very tempted.

She didn't want to do these dirty and tiring jobs, which contradicted her image as a fairy-like, rich, and beautiful woman, but she couldn't say it out loud.

Zhuo Xi smiled gently: "Okay, go ahead, go and help Mu Cheng."

"Got it!"

Zhuo Jiahan was very happy—since it's the same to be a beast of burden, it's definitely better to be one for a beautiful woman than one for his cousin!

Click, click-click-click—

It was the sound of people stepping on fallen leaves and branches.

The three of them turned around in unison.

First, they saw a large goose, standing proudly with its chest puffed out. Despite its tiny, beady eyes, they could all sense its presence.

At that moment, its eyes seemed to be shining.

Seeing the large number of fish caught by the Zhuo brothers, they were about to rush over here without any regard for their own family!

then.

And then another hand gripped the long throat of "fate".

The woman's voice was languid and indifferent: "Those are for people to sell. You're not allowed to pick them up. If you want to eat them, go catch them in the river yourself, understand?"

"Caw caw, caw caw—"

The snow-white goose once again submitted to the woman's "tyranny," feeling utterly humiliated!

Those below naturally saw the newcomer.

"Sister Qin?" Xu Mucheng called out softly, "What are you doing here?"

Ugh.

Someone just loves to act young. I've corrected her way of addressing me several times, but she just won't change.

Qin Chaoyue was too lazy to waste any more words on this point.

The goose beside me had just been "released from prison," but perhaps sensing the change in the atmosphere, it glanced at the people around it and, in the end, didn't abandon this "tyrant," but proudly stood guard to the side.

The trees here provide dense shade, allowing a few rays of light to pierce Qin Chaoyue's face, which is as beautiful as a peach blossom.

She raised her beautiful eyes slightly with a casual gesture.

"That's what I should be asking you. Didn't you just go to town with Teacher Wen this morning to teach the children?"
